Sing yourself happy!
Wednesday 13 January 3.30 – 5.00pm
To start the New Year, we are going to beat the doom and gloom of our current situation with a rousing sing along of HAPPY SONGS! There will be an assortment, from the 40s through to the 90s, but all of them will be cheerful and uplifting. Something for everyone. So, brighten your day by coming along and joining in!
The Zoom link will be sent out shortly before the meeting to everyone who has given us an email address, so if you receive the newsletter on email you will be included. No need to register but do put the date in your diary now.
Singing together is a great morale booster, so do come and join us.
BEWARE OF SCAMS
Sad to say that scammers are trying all sorts of tricks at the moment.
In particular, anyone asking for payment for COVID test kits or TV Licences is not genuine and HMRC are not trying to send you refund.
Please be especially careful with unsolicited emails and phone calls. Do not give out any personal information, no matter how convincing the caller seems. If in doubt, get advice before doing anything.

2020 – I did this!
Wednesday 27 January 2.30pm
We all had more time during last year to spend on our hobbies or learning new skills. What did you do?
This session is an opportunity for you to share your achievements with other members. It can be anything you did last year, finished or still in progress. It could be any craft, art, writing, photography, or any new skill you have learned.
The zoom meeting ID and passcode are in the newsletter.
Anyone can join to see what our members have been doing. If you have something to share do let me know beforehand at
lsn/ at /greatglenu3a.co.uk.
Great Glen U3A members have hidden talents! Let’s get together and celebrate the creativity and resourcefulness of our members. See you there
